The Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River was involved in a party dispute in the court. The princelings falsely accused the Shen family of collaborating with the enemy. In order to balance the power, the emperor decreed that the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Qingwu, be given in marriage to the "dandy prince" Xiao Che. In order to save his family, Shen Qingwu got married on behalf of his younger sister and traveled all the way to the capital.
